Promising so far regardless... Not once have we dipped into the Free Transfer market yet either
Although there isnt a massive rush to sign that type of player (Unless there really is a decent one available) as we'll be able to bring those players in after the window closes0 -
A few decent ones knocking about who may go for a League One club once it gets later if no Championship clubs have come in for them.ForeverAddickted said:Promising so far regardless... Not once have we dipped into the Free Transfer market yet either

Better than Dijksteel in my opinion. Similarly, a midfielder who can play in defence. I can't see us signing anyone better than him. Youth is going to be absolutely monumental this seasonkillerandflash said:

Yes he’s still on the books. He was on loan at Colchester last season. For me he’s our starting RB all seasonDizzle said:do we still have Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu?

Why won’t we sign better than Wiredu? He didn’t play much for Colchester while on loan last season. There will be plenty of out of contract players and loanees available.ElliotCAFC said:

Agree on youth playing a big part, they always do.1 -
At this point i'd believe anything Nixon says even less than i would another statement from Chris Parkes.luke1 said:According to Nixon, we only have permission to sign 2 players. We asked for 4.1 -
Haven't seen anywhere near enough of Sarpong to suggest he is better than Dijksteel, definitely feel that's wishful thinking. Dijksteel had a great second half of the season in our promotion team which led to his move.ElliotCAFC said:

Currently this is our first team squad:
Phillips/Amos/ AMBWiredu Oshilaja Pearce Doughty/PurringtonPratleyMorgan/JFC Gilbey/LapslieWilliams/OztumerBonne/Davison Aneke/Washington
I make us a RB, two CBs and a defensive midfielder short for cover in every position before we need to delve into the academy. Also if others leave they will obv need to be replaced.
Weirdly we are probably closer to a full squad this time around than the last time we headed into a League one season and we all know how that ended!
Hoping Lockyer and Sarr decide to stay but I cant see it. Maybe a couple of options as wingers if bows wants to play wider.2 -
A RB that sat on Colchester’s bench better than one that we sold for 1m + (I think) and is currently a championship player
That’s not the smartest thing I’ve ever heard.2 -
Field, Leko, a right back, Sarr to re-sign and another CB and we'll look ok. Doughty, Bonne and Phillips out the door however won't help matters. Without a clean cut takeover and the embargo fully lifted it'll be a struggle0

I'd be happy with a RB, 2xCB, CM and Striker. Deji could be 3rd choice CB and the cover at RB. Pratley, Gilbey, JFC and Williams is a strong midfield, I'd like to see an out and out defensive midfield full of running to come in. Definitely need another striker too. But we will sign a few on loan so I think the squad is shaping up ok. If Phillips goes I'd still get a freebie in to cover Amos as would be huge pressure on AMB if Amos was ruled out for 2/3 months0

We never got anyone to replace Bielik last term.0

I’m talking relative to their ages. I’ve watched quite a bit of the u23’s and Wiradu has a higher ceiling than Dijksteel (IMO).cafcfan1990 said:

They’re similar in the sense of athleticism - but Dijksteel is a better defender and Wiradu is a better technical player. Dijksteel was a great defender but was pretty blunt going forward.Wiradu is solid defensively but bombing forward is where you’re going to see him thrive. I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t break into the team this year1 -
Expect to sign 7 then.luke1 said:According to Nixon, we only have permission to sign 2 players. We asked for 4.5 -

Alfie Doughty was sat on Bromley’s bench last season, that means absolutely nothing.It was 2m I believe, and he can hardly get a kick. Their academy product Djed Spence is already a better player and keeps him out of the team.5 -
Gunter is still the Right-Back for Wales isnt he?
If so its worth remembering that he gets ahead of Adam Matthews in that area...0 -

1x RM

1x CM
I think 2 perms and 5 loans will be how we fill those roles if we do start next season.

I don't think it's likely we'll sell many, I think covid and the lack of crowds will mean clubs are cautious spending money.0

But you want to play him RB? So surely we should judge him in that position.ElliotCAFC said:

Their academy product Djed Spence is already a better player and keeps him out of the team.For every Doughty, there is a Taylor Maloney or a Toby Stevenson where it doesn’t quite click.I’m not writing Wiredu off, I’m just saying it’s hard to claim he’s better when he’s been sparsely tested at any decent standard.1 -
Anyone else watched SSN today. Just did a round up of rumours and then...Lyle Taylor is still a free agent plugged at the end. I think his agent is trying really hard to get him that big move. I have a feeling he’s been mugged off....shame.2

I thought he would end up at Norwich. Either way I don’t think it is the super move he thought it was going to be. Whatever the pundits say, character of a player is a huge part of what scouts look for in a player, and how players gel in a dressing room.ForeverAddickted said:

Deserting you’re team mates in the hour of need is not good.
Forest have a French manager I think. Nuff said. It is probably them.2 -
Im surprised there hasnt been anything more with regards to the Karlan Grant transfer1

They can’t be the big money move team and once in a lifetime opportunity. That club must off pulled out.ForeverAddickted said:

I honestly think by not playing out our relegation battle, Solly and Taylor have alienated potential managers.7

Norwich seem to have adopted the Brentford model for signings. Made 9 signings for next season, all of them aged 22 or under. Not sure they need Taylor unless they sell a couple of strikers.Redrobo said:

I’m not calling for him to be our RB - I’m saying in a season where we are under a transfer embargo, likely losing key players and at risk of expulsion from the league, it would be a decent option.cafcfan1990 said:
